The Toronto Blue Jays and the visiting Baltimore Orioles plunge right into a significant AL East confrontation to start the season on Thursday afternoon.
The Blue Jays are opening the season at home for the first time since 2022 with the four-game series after starting on the road in 2023-24 because of stadium renovations.
They want to jump off to a good start in their difficult early schedule to help erase the disappointment of 2024 when they finished last in the division.
The Orioles will be out to continue their success of the previous two seasons when they made the postseason. They failed to win a game once they got there, however, and they aim to take the next step.
The Blue Jays will find out if a good spring training record means anything when the real games start. They had the best record in the Grapefruit League at 18-10, including 14-1 at home in Dunedin, Fla. The Orioles were 13-14.
Right-hander Jose Berrios will start for Toronto on Thursday. He was 16-11 with a 3.60 ERA, last season and 0-0 with a 2.77 mark, in two starts against the Orioles. He is 10-1 with a 2.95 ERA, in 16 career starts against them.
He will be opposed by right-hander Zach Eflin, who was 10-9 with a 3.59 ERA, between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Orioles last season. He was 1-1 with a 5.79 ERA, in four starts against the Blue Jays last season and is 3-3 with a 5.72 mark, in nine career outings (eight starts) against them.
